A Very Special Valentine's Day Blog

Happy Saturday, G45ers!

We are very excited to share an extra special Valentine's Day blog with you this Saturday. What a treat! We have two incredible tutorials from Arlene Cuevas and Miranda Edney. It will be a stunning and special day on the blog, and just in time for Love Day!

It's a day filled with Sweet Sentiments! Have you used this yummy new spring collection? Filled with images for all your favorite spring holidays. So much fun to use!

First, we have this stunning Sweet Sentiments altered box by Arlene. This is the most beautiful altered project to give as a gift, keep your own Valentines in, or in which to share treats. She also provides a video tutorial so you can make your own!

Next, we have this gorgeous altered Sweet Sentiments Valentine's Day box from Miranda. Perfect to give those sweet treats to your loved ones! Such a great project. Let's hear what Miranda has to say about it.

"While browsing the selection of heart boxes for V-day, I came across a box covered in ruffled velvet! I knew I had to mimic it! Paper is very easy to manipulate, and doing these crinkly effects are around a lot lately! Wasn't sure if I could manage doing it in this fashion, but it worked very easily! I also have included a video tutorial. Happy Valentines Day everyone :)" - Miranda

Beautiful job ladies! I'm finishing a candy box as a mini album holder for a friend with a new grandson.It's perfect for a paper bag mini. It's not a valentine, but there will be hearts in the mini. It would look much better if I had some G45 paper! Hint hint! lol Thanks for sharing your fabulous talents ladies. Big Valentine hugs, Jess

oh my goodness, both of these heartboxes are absolutely stunning, and I´m definitely going to give them both a try very soon, as I simply loved them both. Thanks sooo much for some really great ideas and tutorials here.
You girls just rocks.

The gathered paper on top of the heart box, is amazing Miranda. It has never even occurred to me to wet the paper, form it, and then dry it (at least not without using some form of glue with the water). This is such a lush look and it just belongs with hearts and romance. Thank you for this great technique that will probably make it to a few other shapes i dabble in. Happy Valentine's day!
